Theresa is gone, so we can mourn without any "told you so".

Oxford drops the Oxford comma. (But I don't. Never. You'll have to yank it from my cold dead fingers!)

Alicia, me, myself, and I

Forever Comma!

The comma's dead they say;
Long live commas!

*sigh* Poor Oxford Comma. Few knew him well.

A moment of silence for EC.

Never. As a matter of fact, I'm putting them BACK in my back list titles where the house style was to use as little punctuation as possible. Without that comma, this: I'd like to thank my parents, God, and Ayn Rand.

Becomes this:

I'd like to thank my parents, God and Ayn Rand.

I might be gone, but I am always watching you. And your commas!
